   256.56  Electronic access to documents.
   The state library shall work to develop a system of electronic access to documents maintained by the state library with a goal of providing electronic access to all such documents. The access shall be provided initially through the use of compact disc using a current, widely accepted and utilized technology. This section shall not prohibit the state librarian from considering other forms of electronic access if the use of such other access is shown to exceed the benefits of, and is more cost-effective than, the use of compact disc currently used technology.
    Sec. 2.  Section 256A.2, subsection 1, paragraphs a and f, Code 2020, are amended to read as follows:
   a.  The administrator of the division of child adult, children and family services of the department of human services or the administrator’s designee.

    Sec. 3.  Section 257.6, subsection 1, paragraph a, subparagraph (3), Code 2020, is amended to read as follows:
   (3)  Shared-time and part-time pupils of school age enrolled in public schools within the district, irrespective of the districts in which the pupils reside, in the proportion that the time for which they are enrolled or receive instruction for the school year is to the time that full-time pupils carrying a normal course schedule, at the same grade level, in the same school district, for the same school year, are enrolled and receive instruction. Tuition charges to the parent or guardian of a shared-time or part-time nonresident pupil shall be reduced by the amount of any increased state aid received by the district by the counting of the pupil. This subparagraph applies to pupils enrolled in grades nine through twelve under section 299A.8 and to pupils from accredited nonpublic schools accessing classes or services on the accredited nonpublic school premises under section 256.12 or on the school district site, but excludes accredited nonpublic school pupils receiving classes or services funded entirely by federal grants or allocations.

    Sec. 5.  Section 282.18, subsection 8, Code 2020, is amended to read as follows:
   8.  a.  If a request filed under this section is for a child requiring special education under chapter 256B, the request to transfer to the other district shall only be granted if the following conditions are met:
   (1)  The receiving district maintains a special education instructional program which is appropriate to meet the child’s educational needs and the enrollment of the child in the receiving district’s program would not cause the size of the class or caseload in that special education instructional program in the receiving district to exceed the maximum class size in or caseload established pursuant to rules adopted by the state board of education for that program.
   (2)  If the child would be assigned to a general education class, there is sufficient classroom space for the general education class to which the child would be assigned.
